As of yesterday, October 6th, we have been in this long, interminable line for 20 months.
Grrrrrrrrr.
I'm just incredibly irritated right now. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that my six month old MacBook just crashed to the point that the service person I called at Mac had never encountered this kind of problem, and in addition my car has a flat tire.
But still... 20 months when we thought it would be six. People have stopped asking us about "the baby". I'm starting to believe it will never happen.

I believe it WILL happen and I'm going to be pompous and say 'I'm sure I'm right' (Yes, I am trying to convince myself as well.)
Sorry about your MacBook...now THAT is something I wouldn't expect to happen.
Better times ahead.
What's up with the laptop meltdowns - we just lost our hard drive as well...
The "Wait" is undeniably physically and mentally draining and I don't know which is worse - people asking or not asking when we're going to get our little one.
Throw on your best fake grin to match ours and we'll trudge along with you....
Peace

Wow. I don't know whether to say congrats or condolences on the 20 months. Yikes. I waited 18 months... but you know what? I can't believe we've been home over 3 months now!!! It is an amazing journey. I pray you get your referral soon.
Peace.

It will happen, it will. I'm sorry that the wait is so long for you. Wish I had something more meaningful to say to make you feel better...
I think we got in the wrong line. We thought we got in line for the China adoption progrm and instead we got in line for Apple's new Iwait. sooooo hard to keep smiling through.
How's school going?

PS we're looking forward to meeting Ariel and seeing you both!
I am right there with you hon. All we can do is keep on and hope for the best.
wow..20 months.our 11 months seems nothing these days..yet two years ago we'd both have our babies now..how things change.I have this feeling that we'll be breaking three year wait..which seems impossible at the moment!! I know this year in some ways has gone fast..but the thought of having to wait another year ,next year is mindblowing for us when we started in 05!!
We'll just have to keep each other going.
Hey - 20 months!! Congrats - you are so close! It will happen!! We are all here waiting right along with you!

"It's an adoption, not a pregnancy. There's a lot more than 2 people involved in making our family." Yeah, it does get tiring - I'll usually give the inquirer a card with our blog address and tell them to sign on for the latest news.
Anyway, we are in queue right behind you in the waiting room, cheering you on.
Blessings,
Don & Be
